    My copy of Knights of the Dinner Table #1, here's a Facebook comment Jolly Blackburn posted after he saw my copy - yeah we only printed 3,000. I have to think a 1/3 if those were trashed. We gave that issue away at a few cons in 94/95 and I definitely saw them later lying on benches on window seals at old convention center in Milwaukee. People would take them to be polite when we offered it to them and then you'd see then toss it I the trash further down the aisle. Too funny. (I don't blame them. It did look like ).

    Great show as always! I left the event around 1130 to restock on some bags n boards at a LCS and a quick bite but couldn't make it back because my tire ran into a surprise pothole by the I-405 which I thought the tire just flatten but the actual wheel broke! Spent a couple minutes putting on the spare donut and headed home because all tire shops by me were closed:cry:!

    Nice!  I didn’t know it was rereleased.  At one point, a friend of mine had the complete Criterion collection, up until about mid 2010.  He had the white ring Salo.  We watched it about 2006.  He said it was only the second time he was going to watch it, kind of nervously laughing as he said it.  That flick is messed up.  I could be remembering incorrectly but didn’t the director get murdered because he made the film?

    He started to sell off the collection at some point and I’m pretty sure he got about 5 hundo for it.  

    Hahaha of yeah Salo is not for the faint of heart, the film could be called the first torture porn I think, the director did get murder by a male street prostitute that might of been an extra in the movie. I only seen it all the way once with a group of co-workers from the glory days of DVD Planet in Huntington Beach. Next time if I could gather another group, I'll showcase the damm thing in HD! Hahaha

    This is just an insane room!  How do you prevent your kids from coming in and destroying it lol 

    Kids!? Me? Nah hahaha! But I do have a goddaughter that I spoil the hell out of, she's only 8 right now but so far I got her interested in Deadpool and Barbie books, I recently got her the first issue bagged with that credit card, still looking for Fashion #1 that's also bagged with another card I think?

    I love movies and have always had a home video library since VHS

    Until recently, I’ve never really thought of my movies as a collection. 

    But in the last 5 years or so I’ve really tried to limit myself on buying “mainstream” stuff because, frankly, it seems like almost everybody seems to have those movies and now they’re endlessly streaming. 

    I’ve been focusing more on buying movies from boutique labels like Criterion, Shout, Olive, etc or even Warner Archives which seem to have a more limited pressing and not something you’re going to see at Walmart.  

    Lately, I’ve really been into Val Lewton movies, can’t wait for I Walked With a Zombie to come out on Blu-ray. 

    My favorite times of the year are July and November when Criterion's are 50% off at Barnes N Noble, currently I'm about 90% in having the collection up to date, the spine numbers are like comic book issues, some are worth more than others! For example spine number 64 which is the Third Man on blu ray can easily fetch over a $100 or the box set of Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales which is #342 soared up over $250! Speaking of Warner Archives, I'm working on completing my seasons of Perfect Strangers on DVD!
